CARNIFEX’s frontman Scott Ian Lewis comments, “Collaborating with Alissa on ‘No Light Shall Save Us‘ was a joy from the start. Alissa was able to elevate the song with a dynamic that’s completely new for CARNIFEX. There is a melody and depth on ‘No Light Shall Save Us‘ unlike any previous CARNIFEX song. It’s the perfect start to your journey through World War X. “

“With ‘No Light Shall Save Us‘ I think CARNIFEX and I have been able to create a really special piece,” comments Alissa White-Gluz“The video shoot was an incredible experience and from the second I read the lyrics and heard Scott’s vision for the song I knew I could really build on it and express myself. I’m excited to share this with the world!”
